About Me
Hello! I’m a 40-something mom originally from Fukuoka, Japan. Currently, I live in Osaka with my husband, who is a corporate transferee, and our elementary school-aged child.
My first experience living on my own was in a tiny, 4.5-tatami wooden apartment with a shared bathroom and no private shower. Back then, my only shopping priority was finding the cheapest option, and I surrounded myself with things that didn’t spark joy. I lived thinking, “This is just how life is.”
Everything changed after I got married. My husband’s thoughtful approach to money inspired me. He taught me the importance of setting priorities, being intentional, and spending on things that improve yourself. Gradually, I realized that money isn’t just a tool—it’s a way to express who you are.
This realization motivated me to start my blog, Kakeibo Life, in April 2020. Since then, the budgeting templates I’ve shared have been downloaded over 100,000 times and used by many people.（In Japanese version blog.)
The Power of Budgeting
A household budget isn’t just about recording expenses. It’s a tool for self-discovery, helping you rethink how you spend, improve your habits, and even increase your earning potential. Changing how you view and handle money can reduce stress and help you take that first step toward living a richer, more authentic life.
My Vision
I aim to create a society where everyone can live richly and authentically. Through my blog, I provide free budgeting templates to empower individuals to take control of their finances—and their lives.
Let’s work together to overcome financial worries and take the first step toward achieving your version of a fulfilling life!
